“There’s no pressure on us,”
said Gerrard when he brightened. “The
manager has said to us that we’ve
nothing to lose, because everyone’s
expecting Juventus to go all the way.
We’ll need to pull one of Liverpool’s
biggest-ever performances out of the
bag, but we know we’ve got the
quality to go over there and nick a
result.”
In Italy, where Juventus
divide the public like Manchester
United in England, there is a popular
website called antijuve.com. On it
there is a reminder why Liverpool
should not be afraid to be forthright.
The site’s photos section (except
for a shot of Paolo Montero being
sick, accompanied by the caption “Vomitero!”)
shows opponents scoring or celebrating
goals against Juve. One of the pictures
is of Dwight Yorke equalising during
Manchester United’s famous 3-2
victory in the Stadio Delle Alpi in
1999. United were uncompromising that
night, playing their normal, get-at-’em
game.
Compare that with the club’s
self-imposed caution in the San Siro
last month, where they misguidedly,
and vainly, tried to wear down Milan
with tactics of attrition. Similarly,
Real Madrid abandoned their attacking
game in the previous round in Turin
and perished in the act of playing
for a 0-0. Benitez will not try the
same.
